Let \"+d+\" = distance from Chicago to NYC in miles
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = time in hrs for NYC to Chicago
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+%2B+2.5+\" = time in hrs for Chicago to NYC
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for NYC to Chicago:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+65t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for Chicago to NYC:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+d+=+85%2A%28+t+%2B+2.5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "This problem makes no sense as stated. It says that
\n" ); document.write( "the trip that was made at the higher speed took
\n" ); document.write( "longer than the trip made at the slower speed!!!!!!!
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "I wrote down the equations, but they will give you nonsense.
\n" ); document.write( "I think the problem is either mistyped to begin with, or
\n" ); document.write( "down the line.
